Despite the difficulties, cargo-carrying airlines have been choosing the Belgian airport in recent months – and new destinations are being served, with Liege now receiving ACT My Cargo’s five-times-a-week services to Istanbul; Emirates SkyCargo’s three rotations a week, operating Dubai-Liege-New York (JFK); Niger Air Cargo has developed new operations from Liege to Niamey; both TNT and CAL have increased the frequency of flights to New York (JFK); and Avient now flies direct to Brazzaville and has set up regular flights to Erevan and the Caspian Sea region.

In another expansion, Ethiopian Airlines is continuing to improve its cargo fleet by introducing two brand new B777Fs, which will operate daily in and out of Liege.
